\lettersection{About Me}
I've always been passionate about technology and solving problems. Everyday gadgets
fascinated me, with the computer being the most mystical of all. I am on my journey to study
all facets of computing, and your engineering position is the perfect match!

\lettersection{Why Me?}
Being an Advanced Data Structures tutor, I have a solid grasp on core computer science concepts. 
Not only am I skilled in such concepts, but I am also an excellent communicator with a
100\% satisfaction rate from students with over 50 hours of tutoring. From my Vice President Finance
position at Association for Computing Machinery at UC San Diego, I've demonstrated my leadership
abilities by managing my own team and obtaining additional funding from outside sources in addition
to our usual allocations which added hundreds of dollars to our budget. I am excited to apply my skills
in your company.

\lettersection{Thank You}
Thank you so much for considering me for your Software Engineer Internship role. I look forward hearing 
from you to learn more about this position soon!
